THE TEAM

To be in account leadership at Martin is to champion creativity.
Our ambition? Declaring Martin the most forward-thinking agency in the world.

We fight for, protect and elevate ideas for clients who believe in the power of inventive thinking. We create ideas that consumers talk about, and that our clients prosper from. Ideas that we're proud of.

And we’re a little bit of everything: trusted advisors, mentors, problem-solvers, cheerleaders and creative partners. We are as devoted to our client's brands as they are, and know what our clients need before they do. Strong relationships breed the confidence, trust and accountability that allow us to create the best work of our lives—for our clients, and for our agency.

To us, unity and belonging are motivators; buzz and cultural impact too.

Our optimism for our clients and what they’re capable of fuels our teams, allowing us to turn challenges into even greater opportunities.

As our work and our momentum continue to grow, so too does our need for a great account executive.

That's where you come in.

Your teams will look to you for informed recommendations, POVs and the inspiration to innovate and you’ll have the knowledge to provide them.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
